I cannot login to Yahoo mail on my Mac with firefox, but I can with Safari.

I am running Firefox 3.6 on Mac. I have had no problems until yesterday when it stopped allowing me to login to Yahoo mail. I can login using Safari on the same laptop, so I know there is no problem with my mail account or computer. When I look at the error message it says it looked for "*" but could not find it. How do I get "*" and if I do will that fix the problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday

This may also be a problem specific to Firefox 26 + Mavericks.

Something in Firefox is blocking viewing. It happens while in Yahoo/Yahoo Mail, while trying to view Firefox personas/themes and with other sites.

(for example, in Yahoo mail I am unable to see the box to click to make an email read or unread. In looking at firefox personas all I see are white boxes where I should see personas.) I have uninstalled Firefox three different times to no avail. I can go into Opera and I can see things normal. I would appreciate any help.

I cannot view my Flash slideshows in Firefox but I can in Safari. Why?

I have created some Flash multimedia packages for my company. You can view them on a PC fine, and you can view them on a Mac, but only if you view them in Safari with a FlipMac4 WMV installed. But I cannot view in Firefox on my Mac and I do not understand why. Here is just one link to my Flash work: http://english.cri.cn/6566/2010/04/23/902s565015.htm
I cannot even see the Flash file, let alone play the audio or watch the slideshow.

That is because you only have code for IE with an ActiveX classid. Firefox ignore object tags with a cklass ID.
Use this code instead:
<pre><nowiki><object data=" /mmsource/flash/2010/04/23/heaven.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="OBJECT1" height="600" width="600"></nowiki></pre>

I cannot open my Earthlink webmail with Firefox. I can with Internet Explorer. How can I use Firefox to open it again. That worked for years for me.

This started after I downloaded zotero. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I get rid of zotero?

Sorry, I can't help with Hotmail, beyond clearing the cache - I haven't used it for 11 or 12 years now. Surprising that a Firefox 3.6 version would have trouble there, as 3.6 has been around for well over a year and Hotmail problems are usually with a recent release of Firefox.
IMO, if Hotmail support can't help you with Firefox issues on their website and can only recommend using IE, maybe it's time to change web mail service providers. My advice is to signup with a different web mail service, one that takes Firefox seriously. Then set up forwarding in your Hotmail account to have all your Hotmail emails forwarded to that new account. Then slowly transition your email contacts over to the new email address over time. As long as you log in to Hotmail every month or two, your account there should stay active and emails sent there should get forwarded to the new email account. I have done that three times in the last decade, and the first one I transitioned from was still forwarding email thru the two intermediary accounts to my current account until last summer when that service finally changed owners and they wanted all new accounts set up or transitioned to their new software - which I didn't do - and I hadn't even signed into my account there in over 4 years and "forwarding" was still working.

Using my Web.Mail account with demon (THUS). I can NOT login using Firefox but I CAN with (choke) Internet Explorer. The login names and passwords ARE correct.

Initially, the Demon support desk asked me to reset all my browsing history which did nothing.
I tried Internet Explorer (7.0.5730.11) and this too failed initially but after several tries, I managed to log in and collect my mails.
I then logged out and tried Firefox, which failed (Incorrect log in name or password).
I immediately tried IE again and got in first time.
In Firefox (TOOLS, OPTIONS, SECURITY, EXCEPTIONS), I set web.mail.demon.net to permit the site any access that might have been denied.
The user name and password ARE correct (that would be too easy) but Firefox seems not to send one of these correctly ??? or is not sending something I.E. does.
aarghhh

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

I cannot access my Amazon author account with Firefox but is OK with IE. It has something to do with security. How can I fix this?

When I go to my author account at Amazon.com I have to enter my password into a secure area before I can add books or edit already published Kindle books. With Firefox the secure buttons do not appear, hence no access.
With IE I do not have this problem.

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

Unable to read e-mails off of Hotmail when using Firefox, but I can with Internet Explorer. Hotmail seems to be the only one I have trouble with.

Having trouble doing different functions on Hotmail when using Firefox. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other sites. Also, no trouble using Hotmail when using Internet Explorer. This just started, yesterday.

I had no problem using Hotmail yesterday on Firefox 10.0.2

On my new imac I cannot sign onto Google maps in firefox but I can on Safari. What do I do? Bert

I have an igoogle account. I use it for the igoogle homepag and for gmail. They work fine. However, when I try to sign into google maps it always goes back to the sign in page. If I go to Safari I can log into Google maps just fine. There must be a setting in Firefox I need to change. I have done the "about:config" suggested in Firefox help but the settings are PK.

Mine is a similar problem with Firefox 3.6.18 on XP, service pack 3. Until a few days ago I could click on the Google Maps icon in the Google Tool Bar and I would be straight in. Now I am asked to sign in but this does not work.
I have found a work around but it is inconvenient. If I open Google Calendar from the tool bar, logged in straight away and then go to Account Settings - My Products and click on Maps I can then access My Places and do all I want with my maps. All other Google products that I use log straight in as does Google Maps in Windows IE8.
Answers Please.

I cannot use JAVA with Firefox but I can use it with Internet Explorer WHY?

I have never had a problem when JAVA 7 was needed to use a program. Until now. Firefox will not allow me to use Java. I have to open Internet Explorer when working with any program and it works.

To protect Firefox users, Mozilla has blocked/disabled Java 7 u6 and below due to serious security flaws in the previous versions of Java 7. The security flaw would also apply to any other browser using the affected versions of Java 7. You can see the version of Java and whether it is disabled in Add-ons > Plugins; look for "Java Platform SE...". See - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p138
You can check your '''''enabled''''' Plugins at any time - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

I cannot save a .vcf file in Firefox but I can with other browsers

When I click in a link that points to a .vcf file Firefox will not save it in the .vcf format. This links works fine with IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I tried to download a vCard file.

Hello Allen.
I don't think Firefox supports the vCard format by default... But you may want to try this extension, as I think it's what you want:

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanks

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
